''Santa Claus: The Anime'' is a [[Main/ShonenDemographic Shonen]] anime that ran for 52 episodes over the 2018-19 anime season. An english dub is currently in production.
Twin brothers Klaus and Tomas have been training their entire lives to take on the roles of SantaClaus and [[TheKrampus Krampus]], respectively. However, as they reach adulthood, the pressure takes its toll on Klaus, who eventually breaks under it and runs away, not wanting to fulfill his destiny.
[[NiceJobBreakingItHero This turns out to be a big mistake]] -- without him to fill the role of Santa, the Santa-Krampus Equilibrium collapses and the resulting chaotic energy engulfs Tomas, causing him to [[FaceHeelTurn go rogue]] and enact a reign of terror across the globe.
Now, with the help of Mrs. Claus-in-training Carol and a slew of other holiday figures, Klaus must take up the role of Santa against his wishes and fight back the darkness. Will he be able to save his brother from the darkness and bring peace back to the holiday season?

!!This anime contains examples of:
* ActionGirl: Carol, whose job as Mrs. Claus involves defending the headquarters while Santa is away.
* AnIcePerson: Both Jack Frost and his sister, Beira, have powers related to ice and snow.
* BadassSanta: Klaus, of course. It's tradition; apparently, the first Santa's coat was dyed red by the blood of his enemies.
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: The Santa-Krampus Equilibrium: there must always be a Santa Claus to balance out Krampus and vice-versa. If it's broken, things quickly go to Hell.
* BigBad: Tomas.
* Bishonen: Both Klaus and Tomas are slender pretty boys, though it's more apparent with Tomas.
* BondOneLiner: Carol gets "Rest in pieces, naughty boy."
* CainAndAbel: Tomas and Klaus, respectively.
* CuteWitch: Sammy, the current spirit of Halloween, dresses like one.
* DarkIsEvil: Tomas dresses entirely in black and is the show’s BigBad.
* DrivenToMadness: The chaotic energies created by the breaking of the Santa-Krampus equilibrium did this to Tomas.
* FaceHeelTurn: When the Santa-Krampus equilibrium is shattered, the resulting chaotic energies drive Tomas to villainy.
* {{Flashback}}: There are several flashbacks to the past that show what Klaus and Tomas' lives were like training under Old Man Santa and Kramps.
* GenkiGirl: Carol is cheerful and hyperactive, even in the face of adversity.
* {{Halloween}}: Sammy is the personification of Halloween, and has magic relating to the holiday.
* HornedHumanoid: Tomas is one, fitting his job as Krampus. Doubles as HornsOfVillainy after he turns evil.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Klaus knows that the brother he loves is still somewhere in there, and so all his battles with Tomas end up becoming this.
--> '''Tomas:''' My, my...have you come to eliminate me?\\
'''Klaus:''' No...I'm here to take my brother BACK!!
* TheKrampus: In this series, Krampus' job is to accompany Santa and punish evildoers by turning them into coal.
* LegacyCharacter: The titles of Santa Claus and Krampus are passed down to successors over the generations, as well as other titles related to the holidays.
* MagicStaff: Tomas, Sammy, and Jack Frost all wield one.
* MeaningfulName:
** Tomas is a fairly common name in central Europe, where the Krampus myth originated from.
** Carol's name is a reference to ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''.
** The Halloween spirit is named Sammy, which according to her is short for "Samhain".
** Beira is named after the Gaelic deity of winter.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Old Man Santa and Kramps, who mentored the hero and villain, die in the first episode; the former lasts long enough to warn Klaus of what happened to Tomas.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If Klaus hadn't run away, none of this would have happened.
* OralFixation: Carol is often seen with a candy cane in her mouth.
* ThePromise: Klaus and Tomas made one when they were children to train as hard as they could and work together when they came of age. This becomes a source of much angst for Tomas, who doesn't understand why his brother ran away from his responsibilities.
--> ''What happened to our promise before, Klaus?''
* ReluctantHero: The only reason Klaus agrees to become Santa again is to rescue his brother. [[CharacterDevelopment He grows out of it as the series progresses.]]
* ShoutOut: The fact that Jack Frost [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians has a younger sister]], though how intentional it was is heavily debated in the fandom.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Carol had bright red hair and bright green eyes, and serves as the deuteragonist.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Tomas' eyes are a pale gold.
* TakenForGranite: Krampus' job is to punish evildoers by transforming them into coal before dragging them into the abyss. When Tomas turns evil, he starts doing this to everyone regardless of who they are.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Carol is always accompanied by two ridiculously buff elves named Jingle and Jangle.
* TragicVillain: Tomas only became a villain because his brother abandoned him and the broken BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil ended up driving him mad.
* UnflinchingWalk: At one point, Carol walks away from an explosion she caused, flanked by Jingle and Jangle and carrying a tray of cookies and milk in one hand.
* WeaponOfChoice: Klaus has his axe, Tomas has his staff, and Carol has her rocket launcher.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Carol has bright red hair, Jack and Beira have white hair, and Sammy has teal hair.
